Exporting Configuration

When RouteEffect is connected to a Videohub, go to the Landing Page to see commands to export the current configuration to the clipboard. There are three exports that you can retrieve:

  • Configuration Commands

  • Label Set

  • Complete State

Configuration Commands

These are the primary commands to send to a Videohub to set the router's labels, locks, and routing.

Label Set

This exports a file that contains the labels for the Videohub's inputs and outputs. This file is suitable for uploading back to the Videhub using the Videohub Setup application on your Mac or PC. Here is an example from an Blackmagic Design Videohub 20x20 12G.

To import using Videohub Setup, click on the gear icon in the bottom-right and choose Load Label Set. Select the file to restore the label names to the inputs and outputs of the selected Videohub.

Complete State

This reconstructs and returns the Protocol Preamble from your Videohub. You can use this text to create a simulated version of your Videohub by following these steps:

  1. Connect to a Videohub

  2. Go to the Videohub Landing page. You can do so by going to a section and hitting the back button

  3. Tap Complete State from the Export to Clipboard section

  4. Tap + in the RouteEffect sidebar

  5. Choose New Simulator

  6. Enter the name for your simulator

  7. Change the port if necessary

  8. Paste the text in the Initial State field

  9. Tap Add to save the simulator

The simulated Videohub will be added to the Simulators list in the RouteEffect sidebar. You can now launch the simulator by tapping or clicking on the Launch Client button:

Creating the simulator does not transfer over any of the extra metadata that RouteEffect layers on top of a Videohub. To transfer that to your simulated Videohub, proceed to the next section.
